School attendance matters because every day students miss represents lost learning time. AERO has investigated factors that influence school attendance and evidence-based strategies that can support and strengthen attendance.

This report presents the findings from a rapid literature review of the barriers to school attendance and the reasons for student absence.

This is the second research snapshot in a series that summarise learnings from readiness for change research undertaken as part of the Getting it Right from the Start (GIRFTS) project. It outlines strategies school leaders can use to increase their school’s readiness for change and highlights real-life examples from the GIRFTS project.

How do we bridge the gap between knowing and doing? Schools are increasingly aware that evidence-based teaching practices will improve students’ outcomes. But, of course, knowing about evidence-based approaches isn't enough. Schools need to know how to adopt these practices successfully to gain the improvements they want to see. The 'how' is just as important as the 'what'. In this article, we explore the concept of implementation and share the key implementation components we’re using with schools.

This article introduces how evidence-informed teaching methods can support student learning and skill development. Learn about the interplay between evidence and classroom realities, common misconceptions, and how the Australian Education Research Organisation (AERO) is helping teachers and leaders.
